Boom!
Tokiomi stood elegantly on the castle's high balcony, lightly waving the cane in his hand which was inlaid with a massive gemstone.
As Tokiomi waved his cane, the giant ruby at its tip emitted a brilliant light. Countless fireballs manifested behind Tokiomi and shot toward the Magus who were currently fighting with puppets in the castle courtyard.
The continuous stream of fire clouds quickly repelled this wave of the Magus' attack.
Tokiomi looked at the results of his efforts with satisfaction and stroked his meticulously trimmed goatee.
"As expected of the gems the king of heroes provided to Rin. The quality of these Age of Gods gems is truly magnificent!"
Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared beside Tokiomi, and humanity's oldest bully actually revealed himself here.
"Zasshu! If it weren't for Rin's sake, a boring fellow like you would have long ago..."
Suddenly remembering that this boring fellow was technically Rin's father, Gilgamesh stopped mid-sentence and curled his lip in boredom.
Tokiomi politely bowed to the suddenly appearing Gilgamesh, then calmly watched the Magus as they launched a second wave of attack.
"king of heroes, I'll leave it to you!"
"Rest assured, Zasshu! Since I promised Rin that I would appear to protect you when you were in danger, you can put your heart at ease."
As he spoke, Gilgamesh stepped onto some kind of transparent tool and floated into the sky. The Gate of Babylon opened, and thirty-two cold, glinting Noble Phantasms emerged from the ripples behind Gilgamesh, shooting toward the Magus in the castle courtyard like missiles.
A continuous series of explosions accompanied Gilgamesh's constant barrage of Noble Phantasms, instantly sweeping away the invading Magus. Having completed this, Gilgamesh landed beside Tokiomi and said proudly,
"Very well, I have dealt with the invading Zasshu, and Rin is about to arrive. I'll leave the rest to her! By the way, Zasshu! Help me pass a message to Rin: I'll be waiting for you in Uruk!"
With that, Gilgamesh transformed into a mass of golden spirit particles and dissipated into the sky, returning to the Hall of Heroes.
Tokiomi looked at the disappearing Gilgamesh in disbelief and murmured,
"Rin, is her compatibility with this king of heroes really that good?"
A golden streak of light flashed rapidly across the London sky. Rin, in her Ishtar Form with a face full of fury, was gripping ishtars bow and flying at high speed toward the Animusphere castle.
Arriving above the Animusphere castle and seeing the courtyard in ruins, Rin, who cared most about her family, was instantly consumed by rage. She clenched her small fists and roared,
"Unforgivable!"
Then Rin turned her head, her gaze dangerously fixed on the Clock Tower campus located in the London suburbs. Simultaneously, a golden gate of light manifested behind Rin; this was the precursor to her releasing her Noble Phantasm.
As Rin prepared to release her Noble Phantasm in the real world for the first time, the intense fluctuations of magical energy from her body were instantly captured by magic observation stations across half the world.
The Magus responsible for observation at the Clock Tower Observatory rubbed his eyes and looked in disbelief at the readings on the instrument, which had already gone off the charts. He scrambled toward the nearby emergency broadcaster.
"Attention! Attention! This is not a drill. The Clock Tower is about to be hit by a Myth-class strike. Everyone, please evacuate immediately. Please evacuate immediately..."
In truth, no notification was necessary. Rin's magical energy, which was like a brilliant sun, had already been sensed by more than half the Magus in England through their magical perception alone. At this moment, the Clock Tower was already in a state of chaos.
Luvia rushed out of the Clock Tower in a panic. Looking in the direction where Rin's magical energy was coming from, she couldn't help but complain,
"Has this woman truly gone mad?"
Just as Rin's Noble Phantasm was fully charged and ready to fire, two great existences descended silently behind her.
Even though the counter force had reached an agreement with a certain existence not to interfere with Rin, they couldn't possibly ignore her actions now. If Rin were truly allowed to fire this shot, it was feared that all of England would be driven into the Atlantic, and half of Western Europe would be shattered by the aftershocks.
One must understand that because of the agreement, the counter force had not suppressed Rin's Noble Phantasm in advance, and there was no Holy Grail here to suppress its power, meaning the power of Rin's Noble Phantasm would be displayed at one hundred percent.
"Stop!" "Stop!"
Accompanying two clear sounds, Rin suddenly felt the magical energy accumulated in her Noble Phantasm being instantly drained away.
Feeling a chill down her back, Rin quickly turned her head to look behind her, but she saw nothing at all.
"Is it the counter force? Fine! If I can't use a Noble Phantasm, then I won't! You guys just wait for me!"
With that, Rin gripped ishtars bow and accelerated, charging toward Buckingham Palace.
The sudden removal of the crisis did not make the big shots of the Clock Tower relax. Upon sensing that the magical energy emitted by Rin had disappeared, they quickly joined forces and began to pressure Lorelei, who had just arrived at the Clock Tower.
"Lorelei, you saw just how dangerous that Rin Tohsaka is! Hand over the key to the Spirit Tomb Albion!"
Lorelei looked with a grim face at her uncle, who had reached out his hand to demand the key from her.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I am very certain. Everyone, isn't that right!"
The majority of the high-ranking members of various departments following behind Lorelei's uncle echoed his sentiment and responded loudly.
"Yes! Hand over the key!"
However, there were also a few individual Magus who had already secretly moved to the back of the group, seemingly intending to break away.
"Very well! I'll give you the key, but you must sign a Self-Geas Scroll with me to guarantee that all of this is your own idea and has nothing to do with the Clock Tower!"
"Agreed!"
Soon, after the Magus who were willing to join the plan had signed their names, Lorelei picked up the Self-Geas Scroll and carefully tucked it into her bosom. She tossed the key to her uncle, turned around, got into her car, and drove toward the El-Melloi Faction manor.
At the same time, some Magus who had not signed the contract also took the opportunity to follow Lorelei and leave the Clock Tower campus.
"A bunch of idiots! Once I use the Department of Policies to obtain the position of Director, I will definitely kick all of you out!"
The Department of Policies · Observatory Carillon is the oldest classroom in the Clock Tower. it measures outstanding Magus on the earth's surface and selects those who should be given a sealing designation. It is also a place that belongs to the Clock Tower yet is detached from it. Its main facilities are located within the Spirit Tomb Albion.
As the core of the Clock Tower, the Spirit Tomb Albion is a place that even a Lord cannot enter casually. Currently, the only ones known to be able to enter and leave at will are the Wizard Marshal Zelretch, the candidate for next Director and fellow Wizard Marshal Lorelei, and the mysterious Director of the Clock Tower—just these three. For others to enter, they must either be given a sealing designation, be born there, or become a Lord and go through a vast amount of paperwork and approvals.
The Department of Policies · Observatory Carillon is the place where Magus under sealing designation are kept. This foolish uncle of Lorelei's was planning to take this opportunity to use Lorelei's key to go to the Department of Policies and gain command over the Magus there who were indifferent to worldly affairs. Ideally, he would also get a few Magus under sealing designation to help him defeat Rin. Then, in his plan, he could naturally gain a large amount of support and use the opportunity to rise to power, replacing the Director or becoming the Acting Chairman.
Just as this Barthomeloi was triumphantly preparing to head to the Spirit Tomb Albion, Rin, who had previously charged into Buckingham Palace, was now walking out of the Buckingham Palace gates wearing an English crown inlaid with the mountain of light and carrying the cartas orthodoxa. From the holy aura emanating from Rin, it was easy to tell that she had currently obtained the power of the 'One Who Is Like God' Archangel Michael.
Meanwhile, inside Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth had taken the Potion of Youth that Rin had just used to trade for the cartas orthodoxa and the crown. She was currently looking at her younger self in the mirror with a face full of joy.
